GENERAL FARM PROGRAM 



That was the thing we had in mind. I assure you, sir, that I 

 have no interest in any more power or any more discretionary 

 control over the farmers of this country or what they do or what 

 becomes of their products or the prices for them than the Congress 

 cares to vest in me. 



I certainly think it should not go beyond what would give us an 

 eflBcient and effective operation. 



Mr. Murray. Mr. Chairman, I ask unanimous consent that I 

 may be permitted to put in the record charts showing the disposition 

 of these section 32 funds. 



It shows what livestock products were bought out of the $149,~ 

 000,000 expended in 194S. 



The Chairman. Could you put the statement in without putting 

 in the charts? 



Mr. Murray. The charts will give you the official information. 



The Chairman. All right, without objection, the charts will be 

 included. 



(The charts referred to are as follows :)
